Save the Harvest
Solar Solutions to End Food Waste
Save the Harvest tackles one of the biggest challenges in Nigerian agricultur; post-harvest food loss.
Kaduna, Nigeria40%reduction in food loss
Up to 50% of perishable crops like tomatoes, peppers, and onions are lost after harvest due to lack of preservation and storage infrastructure. This means wasted effort, lost income, and food insecurity for farming communities.
Save the Harvest deploys solar-powered food preservation systems that allow farmers to dry, store, and sell their produce at better prices, reducing waste and increasing household income.
What We Do
- Deploy solar-powered food dryers and storage systems in farming communities
- Train farmers in food preservation techniques and market timing
- Reduce post-harvest losses by at least 40% in target communities
- Increase farmer income through better preservation and market access
How It Works
01
Community Assessment: We identify farming communities with high post-harvest loss rates.
02
System Installation: Solar dryers and storage units are installed at community-accessible locations.
03
Training: Farmers learn preservation techniques, quality control, and optimal market timing.
04
Market Linkage: We connect farmers with buyers who value preserved, quality produce.
Your Impact
$75 funds preservation training. $1,000 installs a community-scale system.
